Why isnt my website correct in IE?

Hi,

Im new and just learning to use css and tables. So far all the code on my page displays correctly on all browsers, except for Internet Explorer. I heard of stories that IE is really iffy with html. I can narrow it down to the right side of my page that is the problem cuz its the only thing that doesnt show up correctly. Eveyrthing is suppose to be centered. Look at it in FF and you will see how it is suppose to look like. Can anyone give me some pointers on how to fix it in making it look correct in IE? I also have another problem with the forms on IE...it simply doesnt work. However it works in other browsers. What is up?

you seem to have a very small error in your html
try changing this part of your code.

<alt width="60" height="109">
<p class="bluebox"> for questions & info:

all that is changed is <td width is changed to <alt width

hope this helps

The table on the right should be these dimensions

Code: Select all

<table width="220" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" background="images/sidebar.jpg" height="1694">

                                    <tr height="61">
                                        <td width="220" height="61" align="left" valign="top">
                                            <p class="bluebox">For questions &amp; info:                   (650) 368-8313 or email us at sales@homesmustgo.com</p>

Can't help you with the form because I don't know anything about .asp.

PLEASE READ: How and When to post your question!

- Add a DOCTYPE (HTML Strict would be best)

- Then validate your code. You have 40 errors right now without the doctype and with an HTML Strict doctype you'll have 50 errors

- Add a character set

Make your HTML efficient
